I transitioned from a regional to law enforcement about three years ago. No real regrets. Sure I sometimes reflect on my high school career dream of being a wide body captain with two overseas trips a month, auto pilot on, FA in one hand, mint julep in the other and 300K annually but I think those days have passed. I am fortunate to be flying full time with an aviation section in a state agency. The “make a difference “ aspect is certainly there. Whether you find a lost boater or provide air support to a team serving a high risk warrant, it’s rewarding. I enjoy being home most every night and the take home police interceptor with a trunk full of guns is a bonus.
